One-Year Program Plan for Test Program Set Quality Assurance,

Abstract

The Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is a major item considered during Integrated Logistic Support Planning (AR-700-127) which is required for all weapon systems. Critical elements of automatic test support are the applications software programs written to test the individual parts or subsystems of the system. These software programs are called Test Program Sets (TPSS), and the subsystems they test are called the Units Under Test (UUTs). The TPS consists of a hardware Interface Device that physically connects the UUT to the ATE, and a computer program that controls the ATE functions by automatically selecting and routing stimuli to the UUT and automatically measuring UUT response. TPS constitute more than 70% of ATE expenditures in the Army today. This report addresses the Government Product Assurance Directorate activities to initiate the establishment of effective policies and procedures for TPS quality assurance.
